BC Ski Team girls check in before Miele Cup racing starts up again in Nakiska | BC Alpine Ski Association

Nakiska Miele Cup races get underway Saturday – follow the action on LIVE TIMING

UPDATE FROM BC TEAM GIRLS:
"First of all, we hope that everyone had a happy white holiday and that the new year is treating you well. From the 23rd of December to the 2nd of January, all of us got to spend time with family and friends in our home towns. A big thanks goes out to the clubs of Whistler, Fernie and Big White — we really appreciated the training sessions with our old teammates and coaches on our home hills. The few days before our departure, many of us returned to school to find that our friends and teachers still recognized our faces.

"Currently, we have just concluded a four day training camp in Nakiska preparing ourselves for the upcoming Miele Cup Races. During those days, we were exposed to many different weather conditions including light fluffy powder, rain, and frigid cold temperatures. The well below zero temperatures were a shock to the system after such mild temperatures in the preseason.

"We are all looking forward to the start of the races tomorrow — we are strong, rested, and our gas tanks are full with the many assortments of holiday treats our mothers cooked for us over the past few weeks.

"Thank you to everyone who made our rest period enjoyable. Wish us luck over the next four days!"
